Rich Chocolate Fudge Frosting comes together in just 10 minutes with only 4 ingredients. It is quite possibly the easiest and tastiest chocolate frosting I have ever made. One bowl and 10 minutes from here to fluffy goodness.
It seems that they days are just flying by lately. I swear it was just January but now here we are getting ready for back to school and I am already seeing Christmas items out in stores{{what???}}. Not to mention my daughter who is 5 1/2 now seems to be growing faster and faster. Heaven forbid I blink, she may be 25.
I am trying so hard to hold on to these days and make every moment count, but they are just passing by. I mean, 1st grade? Wasn't I just watching you walk for the first time? I can see the grown up Munchkin in there when I look in her eyes and it makes me sad. I want her to grow up and have her own life, but I also desperately want to rock her to sleep every night for the rest of my life.
So, I do everything I can to make each day more memorable. Making frosting with her was definitely a memory I will cherish for a long time. She is the official taste tester and we have a supply of tasting spoons. When we were making this chocolate fudge frosting we went through several variations before this gem of a recipe came to be. We tasted each one with a tasting spoon and talked about what we liked about it. The first few were okay and she liked them, I mean they were all chocolate after all.
Then I made this Chocolate Fudge Frosting. I took out 2 tasting spoons for us each to sample the frosting. We high fived and did a little happy dance in the kitchen. Then I sat down at my computer to write the selesai recipe down.
Munchkin came to me and asked if she could have one more taste. I gave her the okay, but just one more. I swear she must have searched through the drawer for the biggest spoon she could find because when I glanced over at her it looked like she had a chocolate covered shovel in her hand. I laughed out loud and ran over and grabbed the spoon.
In her sweetest voice she says "what? It is really good Mom!" Absolute score. I love this flavor and creaminess of this recipe. I used International Delight Vanilla Iced Coffee in the recipe. As you may know coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and this iced coffee already has vanilla in it. Double score!
Crazy days call for some me time and there is nothing like taking 10 minutes for yourself to take in the day. I love kicking back with a coffee drink. But I am not about to run to the coffee house to get a drink. So I bring the coffee house to me. Summer is here and I really want something really cold and International Delight® has it.
By now, you know how much we love their coffee creamers and have for some time (check out our 40+ International Delight recipes). But their ready to serve iced coffees are absolutely brilliant. Just pour over ice and go. Or if you like an icy drink, you can give it quick whirl in the blender.
Life is so busy. Don't forget about you. How do you get your 10?
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

PRINT RECIPE
Chocolate Fudge Frosting
MAKES 4 CUPS | ACTIVE TIME 5 Min | TOTAL TIME 10 Min
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups good quality unsweetened cocoa
5 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup International Delight Vanilla Iced Coffee
Combine butter and cocoa in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer) fitted with a whisk attachment. Start on low speed until incorporated and then whip on medium until completely combined. Add iced coffee. Whip until combined. Reduce speed to low. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time until combined.
Whisk on high for 2-3 minutes until frosting becomes light and fluffy and lightens in color.
Use to frost cakes, cupcakes, brownies, or eat with a spoon. I won't judge.
DONNA'S NOTES: This recipe will frost a 9-inch (2 layer cake) or a 9x13 cake (with left overs to spare). For 24 cupcakes or a single 8 or 9-inch square cake, halve the recipe.
If the frosting is a little sweet for your palate, add a pinch of table salt to help take the edge off the sweet. The salt will not make it salty, just balance the sweetness.
If your powdered sugar or cocoa are lumpy, give them a stir with a fork to break up the lumps before adding to the mixer, this will result in a smoother frosting.
